Dionysus

She said “It was only a matter of time
Till you re-found your faith in a bottle of wine,
While you’re filling your glass up, don’t forget mine
Is Dionysus your new partner in crime?”

I fell into the kitchen and poured out some red
And she shouted “I’ll just have some bubbles instead”
Then she brought ben the Veuve that was under her bed
And we drank to our friends whom had recently wed.

So she asked me if I’d ever settle down
With the right kind of girl from the wrong kind of town,
I said it’d more likely be the other way round
And she screamed while I lifted her up off the ground.

As we span through the air, she laughed like a child
And she said “you really belong in the wild,
With the way that you think and the way your hair’s styled
Were The Bacchae and Thebes ever reconciled?”

I said “you know well how these tragedies end
The one’s that don’t die all end up round the bend”,
She said “what kind of message does that serve to send?”
If you’re not on the make then you’re not on the mend.

So I went in and filled up our glasses again
And we put on some music and danced in her den,
And we talked of a time way long ago when
The Gods were at one with the world of men.

She said “It was only a matter of time
Till you re-found your faith in a bottle of wine,
While you’re filling your glass up, don’t forget mine
Is Dionysus your new partner in crime?”
